Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Katy, TX
HVAC cleaning in Katy typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system service, with air quality and sanitizing work adding $200-$450 depending on whether mold treatment or UV installation is needed. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we serve Katy from our Houston office with crews that understand the local housing stock: 15-25-year-old flex ductwork in master-planned communities, attic temperatures above 130°F, and the lingering effects of 2017 reservoir flooding. Every job starts with a written price before any panel comes off, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Call (346) 666-7165 for a free estimate.
Why Katy Homes Are Different
Katy sits on the Katy Prairie, where relative humidity routinely exceeds 85-90% and attic temperatures spike past 130-140°F in summer. That temperature differential across duct walls creates condensation inside flex duct runs, and because AC systems here run nine or more months a year, they cycle enormous volumes of humid, pollen-laden air through ductwork far more aggressively than in drier Texas markets.
The housing stock tells the same story. Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes, Cross Creek Ranch, and Firethorne were built rapidly from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, and those homes now have 15-25-year-old builder-grade flexible ductwork that is sagging, accumulating debris, and developing micro-tears where humid attic air infiltrates supply runs. Sprawling single-story layouts mean long duct runs stretched across superheated attic spaces.
Then there’s Hurricane Harvey. The deliberate release of Barker and Addicks Reservoirs inundated thousands of Katy homes, and in neighborhoods like Bear Creek Village and Canyon Lakes West, we still find ductwork that received only cosmetic remediation: drywall replaced, surfaces bleached, but flex duct joints never fully inspected. Mold staining and debris remain trapped in low-hanging runs now sealed inside rebuilt walls and ceilings.
Our Main Katy Services
These are the three services Katy homeowners call about most. Each has its own dedicated Katy page with full pricing and scope details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Katy
We clean the full supply and return network with negative-pressure extraction, photographing every duct run before and after. In Katy, we pay particular attention to low points in sagging flex duct where condensation pools, and to register boots in homes that took post-Harvey moisture. Every job includes a written price before work starts and a Documented Photo Record delivered afterward. Air Duct Cleaning in Katy
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Katy
Lint accumulation accelerates in humid climates, and Katy’s long cooling season means dryers work harder, more often. We clean the full vent run from appliance to termination with rotary brushes and high-velocity air, then photograph the interior condition. This is separate from HVAC ductwork and requires its own scope and price. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Katy
Duct Repair & Sealing in Katy
Micro-tears in aging flex duct, disconnected joints, and failed mastic seals are common in Katy’s 1990s-2010s housing stock. We locate leaks with pressure testing, repair or replace damaged sections, and seal with rated materials. Every repair is photographed and documented in the job record. Duct Repair & Sealing in Katy

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Katy
HVAC cleaning in Katy addresses what the climate and housing era create together: evaporator coils choked with prairie pollen and mold, blowers coated in fine dust from attic infiltration, and condensers struggling against Bermuda grass debris. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and every job follows HVAC Cleaning protocols under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard. We document the before condition of each component, clean to manufacturer specifications, and deliver the photo record with the written scope.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice forming on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC first cycles on.
What it costs in Katy
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320 in Katy.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fins before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Katy
Blower cleaning typically runs $150-$280 in Katy.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and photograph the condition.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Katy
| Item | Typical range in Katy |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know if my evaporator coil needs cleaning?
Ice buildup, reduced cooling output, or a musty odor at startup are the most reliable indicators. We inspect the coil with a borescope and show you the photo before quoting any work. Call (346) 666-7165 for a free estimate.
Can HVAC cleaning improve my energy bills in Katy’s climate?
A clean coil and blower restore designed airflow, which can reduce runtime in a climate where systems operate nine-plus months yearly. We document the before-and-after pressure readings so you can see the mechanical difference.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Katy
Air quality and sanitizing in Katy addresses the microbial load that humid, long-running AC systems cultivate: mold in flex duct low points, bacteria on wet coils, and the persistent mustiness in post-Harvey homes where ductwork was never fully remediated. We treat with trade-recognized methods and equipment, and every treatment is photographed and delivered in the job record. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service follows H.A.V.E.N. Standard protocols for application and verification.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible staining at registers, a persistent earthy smell, or recent water intrusion history in the home.
What it costs in Katy
Mold treatment typically runs $250-$450 in Katy.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered fungistat to affected duct runs with mechanical agitation, then verify with post-treatment photography.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated coil mold despite cleaning, allergy symptoms that worsen when AC runs, or a home with chronic humidity control issues.
What it costs in Katy
UV light installation typically runs $300-$550 in Katy.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Guardsman UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the air handler circuit, and photograph the installation.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Katy
| Item | Typical range in Katy |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $250-$450 |
| UV light installation | $300-$550 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $200-$350 |
Is mold treatment safe for my family and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied only to the interior ductwork, with the system off during treatment and a prescribed ventilation period before restart. The written scope includes the product name and safety data.
How long does UV light installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in two to three hours, including mounting, wiring, and testing. We photograph the lamp position and deliver the image with the job record.
